Reviewing output before you use it

Everything Rhazes generates is a draft for a clinician to check, and a quick method for checking one properly before you sign it.

Everything is a draft

Rhazes marks generated clinical output as needing review before clinical use. That is not a formality. You are accountable for what you sign, and a fluent draft is easier to accept uncritically than a rough one.

Checking quickly

  • Follow the citations. Anything drawn from a source can be opened and read.
  • Notice what has no citation. Those parts are Rhazes reasoning rather than quoting, which is where an error hides best.
  • Highlight anything that reads oddly in a generated document to see the evidence behind that specific passage. See Checking the evidence behind a generated document.
  • Check the specifics hardest: doses, units, laterality, dates and names. Fluent text makes a wrong number look as convincing as a right one.

If something is wrong

Rate the response and say how serious it was. That is what separates a wording preference from something that could cause harm. See Rating a response.
